Speech therapy is a type of treatment designed to help individuals improve their ability to communicate effectively. It involves working with a speech-language pathologist (SLP) to address speech, language, and communication issues such as difficulty pronouncing words, stuttering, or voice problems.
Speech therapy can benefit people of all ages, from children with speech delays to adults recovering from brain injury, stroke, or surgery. Common conditions treated include speech disorders, language delays, stuttering, voice disorders, and swallowing difficulties.
Common speech disorders include articulation disorders (difficulty pronouncing sounds), fluency disorders (e.g., stuttering), voice disorders (issues with pitch, tone, or quality), and language disorders (difficulty with understanding or producing speech).
The duration of speech therapy depends on the severity of the disorder and the individual’s progress. Sessions typically last between 30 minutes to 1 hour, and treatment can range from a few weeks to several months. Regular practice at home can also speed up improvement.
During a session, the therapist may work on specific exercises such as practicing speech sounds, improving breath control, or using tools to help with stuttering. The therapist tailors the session to the individual’s needs, using both structured and playful activities, especially with children.
